Insending over the minutes (No. 55) of the sitting of
the bureau of the All-Russia Central T.U.C. group of
3.III.1921, I propose that:

1))point“g”should be withdrawn(in view of the Party
Congress which is to meetwithin a few days, and the need
to discuss this and similar other mattersthere),

2))onpoint “l”

beit resolved:

“Tobe referred to the Party
Congress.”[1]

Ithink it necessary to decide thisover the telephone,
for it is indisputable that decisions cannot be taken before
the Party Congress or without it. We obviously cannot allow
panic to be spread for no good reason.

[1]InMinutes No. 55 taken at the sitting of the bureau of the
All-Russia Central T.U.C. Party group on March 3, 1921, Lenin marked
off in the margin and underlined the text of points “g” and
“1”. Point “g” said: “The agenda of the All-Russia Central T.U.C.
Party group set for March 4, shall include a report by the People’s
Commissar for Food on the Republic’s food supply situation,
and the Collegium of the People’s Commissariat for Food shall
be asked to appoint its rapporteur on this question.” Point “1”
spoke of the need to bring to the notice of the R.C.P.(B.) Central
Committee the decisions taken by the group’s bureau (CentralParty Archives of the Institute of Marxism-Leninism of the
C.P.S.U. Central Committee).

OnMarch 3, 1921, the Politbureau of the R.C.P.(B.) Central
Committee adopted Lenin’s proposal.
